Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens rank first and third all-time in receiving yards, making the fact they played together a scary thought for any defensive back. The two were teammates towards the end of Rice’s time with the San Francisco 49ers. They lit the league up in 1998, combining for 23 touchdowns and 2,254 yards.

Rice retired with 13 Pro Bowl selections, 11 All-Pros, and an NFL record of 197 touchdowns. Owens put up fantastic stats, too, with 153 touchdowns and led the league in receiving touchdowns three times.

#1 - Randy Moss and Cris Carter, Minnesota Vikings

During Randy Moss’ rookie year in 1998, he and Cris Carter formed arguably the greatest receiving duo in NFL history. Moss put up 1,313 receiving yards that year to go along with Carter’s 1,011. More impressive, however, is the fact that the pair combined for a ridiculous 29 receiving touchdowns.

Carter retired in 2002, ending his career 13th overall in receiving yards, while Moss hung his boots 10 years later, ending his career fourth on the same list. They’re now both Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees.
